A Glimpse At The Representation Of Linguistic Politeness To Young Algerian Efl Learners
Authors : Lounis Maha .
Abstract
Linguistic Politeness is, undoubtedly, a very important aspect of human life. Although its conceptualizations might differ across languages and cultures, linguistic politeness is deemed a prerequisite for successful communication, especially when using a foreign language. Hence, exhibiting polite and appropriate linguistic behavior is required for FFL learners to communicate successfully using English. The aim of this paper is to find out how linguistic politeness is represented to Algerian young EFL learners. To these ends, the four middle school textbooks of English used in Algerian middle schools are investigated. The investigation is concerned with the particular model within which linguistic politeness is perceived and taught, the different politeness strategies present in the different textbooks and which one is more emphasized, the extent to which directness and indirectness are stressed in the content, and the leveling up of politeness patterns from one textbook to the next.
